[English]

He got flat baby

Kick in the back baby

A heart attack baby

I need your body

A hot kiss honey

He's just a bitch baby

You make me sick baby

So unrelying

I'm such a swine baby

All down the line daddy

I hate your kind baby

So unreliable

A hot buzz baby

He's one of us baby

Another drug baby

You're so desire

Trust in me

Trust in me

Put all your trust in me

You're doin' Morphine

Hoo!

...

They got place baby

Kicked in the face baby

You hate your race baby

You're just a liar

Your every lick baby

Your dog's a bitch baby

You make me sick baby

You soul survivor

She never cut from me

She never cut baby

I had to work baby

You just a rival

Always to please daddy

Right up and leave daddy

You're throwing shame daddy

So undesirable

Trust in me

Just in me

Put all your trust in me

You're doin' Morphine

Go on, Babe

...

Relax

This won't hurt you

Before I put it in

Close your eyes and count to ten

Don't cry

I won't convert you

There's no need to dismay

Close your eyes and drift away

Demerol

Oh God, he's taking Demerol

...

Oh God, he's taking Demerol

He's tried

Hard to convince her

To be over what he had

Today he wants it twice as bad

Don't cry

I won't resent you

Yesterday you had his trust

Today he's taking twice as much

Demerol

Is truth a game daddy

To win the fame baby
